Connecticut Tea Party

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's Tax Day and I understand that "Tea Parties" are happening all around the country.

I just looked out my office window and was surprised at what I saw. So I grabbed my camera and took some pictures.

Below is the Connecticut State Capitol and all the people having their "Tea Party"

The shot was taken from my office window which is on the 29th floor.

I sent a few of these pics over to our local NBC station. Looks like they might use them on the 5 and 6pm news.

BTW before someone asks, the camera used was a NIKON D-50 using a 28-100mm lense.

Nice, but shouldn't they be there getting their own pictures of what is obviously a big deal?

It's not as much about a "tax protest" as you might be led to believe. More of a "the government is out of control, too intrusive, and spending too much money" thing.

I was wondering what was going on at our state capital. I'm on a 7th floor of another state building that looks down on the capital building grounds.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still a big crowd out there.

These Tea Parties are all over USA. Even CNN reported about them.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

It's ANARCHY I tell you! And about time!

 

[Arse69]

It will be interesting to see how the main stream media reports about the Tea Parties tonite. If these large rallies were promoting Gay Marriage they would be lead stories on CBS, NBC, ABC.

Let this be the start of a new beginning I hope. I admire these people.

Remember, A handout is what you get from the Government, A hand up is what you get from friends.

And just look at that Connecticut State Capitol. Looks like a Kings Castle. That speaks volumes.

Indeed, while everyone else is scrimping to get buy, government officials build new offices and monuments to themselves.

Jeeez... I just looked out my office window and the entire front steps of our capital is covered. I've never seen so many people out there. And the steps are by no means small at all... I'll grab some pics with the phone.

Sorry for the quality...someone forgot to clean the lens before he took the pictures

But there you have it... Tallest State Capitol Building in the United States.

I think that has more to do with CT being of the original 13 colonies and being "built" by England than the state government's feeling of self-righteousness.

I'm still toying with the tons of camera settings on this phone. But after I took the pics I looked at the lens and saw this huge smear of gunk on the lens. The camera does pretty well for a phone. It's only 3.2 megapixel.

Little do these people know but inside that building they're working on "protester tax " bill .


I showed this picture to my co-worker and he said "That is so stupid". I then told him they might increase the tax on beer and he said" That's it , I'm going downtown. "

Some of the things said from from inside the building.

"Release the hounds"

"Call our lawyer and ask him if we just shoot them in the leg can they sue us?"

" I thought we had a people mover bulldozer"
